1493 Antidote
"Here are the ingredients you have requested, Healer Wang."
The worker placed the ingredients on the table before them.
"Thank you." Wang Xiuying tossed all of the ingredients into her spatial ring.
"Are you returning to your residence now?" Elder Mu asked her.
"Yes, then I will be leaving again after I concoct the antidote."
"I will come with you since it's been a while since I last saw you working."
"Okay."
The two of them left the Medicine Hall and made their way back to Wang Xiuying's residence.
Once they arrived, Wang Xiuying retrieved a cauldron and immediately began concocting the antidote.
"Elder Mu, I've told you this before, but I do not plan on staying in the Spirit Healing Academy forever," she spoke as she concocted the pill, something most alchemists don't dare to do since it takes away their focus.
Elder Mu nodded, "Yes, you have. The Sect Master may be upset by your decision, but she also understands it. This place is simply too small for someone as talented as you, Disciple Wang. You're destined to climb higher than all of us and achieve great things as an Alchemist."
"Since you're bringing this up now… do you plan on leaving soon?" Elder Mu looked at her with a calm gaze.
"Yes, it's about time I climb the Stairway to Heaven."
"Why would you willingly put yourself through that ordeal when we can have someone from the Third Heaven guide you there?" Elder Mu asked.
Unbeknownst to Elder Mu, all players had access to the Stairway to Heaven and could ascend without needing to partake in the trial because of Yuan. However, players could still willingly partake in the trials.
The majority of players ascended without participating in the trials, but a minority willingly did so just to train themselves. After all, even if they failed the trials, it wouldn't affect their ability to ascend.
In fact, Yuan had advised everyone in the Demon Sealing Faction to ascend the Nine Heavens through their own effort instead of solely relying on him, as it would greatly benefit them.
While it was possible to die during trials with countless people perishing to it since its establishment, as the master of the Stairway to Heaven, Yuan made it so that nobody from the Demon Sealing Faction would die during a trial.
He also adjusted their difficulty, making it much harder than usual. This made the Stairway to Heaven a perfect training device for the Demon Sealing Faction.
"I don't want to accept every handout coming my way. I have my own pride, you know? Once I ascend to the Third Heaven, I will join a sect through my own powers, not because of some recommendation!"
"W-wait a second! Does that mean you won't be joining the Jade Cauldron Sect?! Their Sect Master is already expecting you to join them!" Elder Mu panicked a little after hearing her words.
Wang Xiuying shook her head and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't join them, Elder Mu. I am saying that I will join them through the disciple examination by proving my qualifications, just like how I had to prove my qualifications before joining the Spirit Healing Academy." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"B-but you have already proven your qualifications in the last two years. Nobody will dare to question your qualifications now."
